Everyone wants damn money for anything anymore, which I find pathetic. Several years ago when someone asked for an addon it got made within a few days and was released for free. You may got the ocassional person asking for money, but not like it is today. Cause the average person around here seems to be in school and does not have the money to throw around. If you're not going to upgrade your hack for any damn reason, then by god someone else should be able to do it. And whatever to the responses this post gets.

I agree with you on the money part. Most of those who request money for a hack here learned how to write those very same hacks they are charging for right here. I miss the good old days when we all did it for the sheer pleasure of it and enjoyed learning together. The money doesn't matter to me, it never has. I've never really had any so I don't miss it. ;)

I dissagree, I have posted questions in threads about hacks, asking for some support, because I installed it and was getting errors, and I went to the hack thread, and posted my question, and no one replied.. so I cannot see people helping me, even when I put in a honest effort...

Then you're not asking the right people and not installing the right hacks. ;)

Hack authors are not obligated to provide support. In my case, I have released over 40 hacks and it would simply not be possible for me to support them.

The vast majority of the time, a hack question has been already answered in its thread.

I didn't ask the right people... :confused: i posted it smack down in the thread I got the hack from.. where would you suggest me posting my question?

If you are using code from the vB2 hack and don't have permission then yes it will be deleted. If you have written the code from scratch and the hack does similar things a vB2 hack did then its fine to release it here.

I agree, and I read the entire thread, found my error wasn't talked about yet, so I posted it, but that is leading away from my point. My point is simply, that person said if you try people are more likly to help, and that isn't true.. that is my point.

That's the problem here now. Everyone who releases a hack anymore feels they're not obligated to provide support. Why release a hack then if you all feel that way? Most of the hacks that get released anymore it seems are subpar in quality and basically to get their hack counts up. If I felt the same way you do, filburt, I would never release a hack here, let alone even visit the site. What happened to the good old days when we all worked together to have fun at this site? The problem is no one seems to remember when we were newbies and didn't know squat. I remember one of your very first hacks. It was the resolve IP hack and if I remember right, I even helped you with some bugs reports on it in the thread and had a blast doing it and learning from it. ;)

We need to all band together and start having fun again or we might as well kiss this place good-bye. ;)
